ITEMS NEEDED FOR SILENT AUCTION BENEFIT!

The Great Rift Valley Lodge and Golf Resort in Naivasha, Kenya is the host site for our 2012 special event fundraiser for St. Andrews! 100% of the proceeds will go to the school fee fund for poor families with students at the school. The benefit to St. Andrews is two-fold. The school carries an unpaid school fee debt from time to time of as much as 50%, which results in a need to send those students home or to try as best they can. Help Hope Happen! This exciting event will be held on December 8th and will be a 9-hole golf tournament at the Golf Resort, followed by a brunch sponsored by the Great Rift Valley Lodge, a silent auction and art sale!

Driven by Hope

Abraham is a form 3 (Jr.) student at St. Andrews and is a sponsored, promising and rising young golf star for Kenya. He has played in tournaments in South Africa, Botswana and Kenya. Abraham is an orphan, and will be playing in the Benefit Golf Tournament. Will you consider helping Abraham to raise funds for his school with a donation?

We need things like Kindles, Iphones (make sure they are unlocked for use in Africa), laptops, Ipads, digital cameras, golf clubs, and other "gadgets" that folks in Africa would love to have! In addition to donating actual items, a cash gift to purchase auction items here would be great!

Deb Snell, Board of Governors member, is chairing the benefit committee. If you can help as a volunteer, a donor, or would like to purchase tickets, please contact her at snelldeb@gmail.com

Computers and Software

St. Andrews has plans for a computer lab. But we need computers! The Principal and the administrative Bursar each have a donated laptop, however we have a need for at least 20 reliable, modern laptops for the lab to use as teaching tools in computer technology. We would like at least 10 PC's with an operating system of Windows 7 or Windows xp and 10 Macs. The computers will be used to train students in graphic design, internet research to enhance their study skills and gain information, and basic skills such as composing and sending e-mail, organizing files, web site and blog design, and use of software like Excel, Publisher, and Adobe. If you are able to donate one or several computers or software packages, there are people coming to Kenya often from both America and Europe who can carry them. UPDATE!!!! June 20, 2012:Our infant website is less than a month old and a reader has made possible a number of laptop computers from a company upgrading to Ipads!!! Praise God for this great gift. Anybody have any Macs??????

Science Equipment

St. Andrews is building a science lab on campus and supplies and equipment is urgently needed! If you have resources to donate microscopes, test tubes, slides, or other supplies (not chemicals or liquids), it would be much appreciated! We have recently received information from a private international school in Kenya about Science Lab Kits - individual kits for each student that allows them to use far less chemicals. There are also small microscopes with cameras that can be plugged into a computer USB port and then projected on to a large screen. These are relatively inexpensive (about $30!) If you are able to purchase any of these kits or microscopes, we can find a way to get them to Kenya!

Media Equipment

We have a need for a large screen television set, a DVD player and a Video projector. This will allow us to teach, to view science lab experiments, and to provide entertainment for the students.

Sports Equipment

Our biggest need (as of June 2012) is for uniforms for the Volleyball, Football (Soccer), Netball and Athletic (track and field) teams. We would appreciate a company that could donate the printing of team logos/numbers on uniforms. If you are interested in providing any of the proper uniform pieces - socks, shoes, jerseys, shorts, track suits - let us know!. And of course we can always use nets and balls!If you are interested in donating or purchasing any of the above please see the "How to make a Donation" page.
